Yeah, band buttons would be nice if the panel were larger. But there is a
good work-around that doesn't require a computer. If you're new here, you
may have missed it. Just use quick-recall memories 0-9. This results in two
taps instead of one (M>V, <n>) but it sets you up with all variables the way
you want them.

I use this mnemonic: Memory 0=160, 1=10, 2=20, 3=30, 4=40, 5=15, 6=60, 7=17,
8=80, 9=12. (That last one isn't really mnemonic.) Some folks go in
frequency sequence. Take the time to set up exactly what you want in both
VFOs on each band. I put my favorite CW freq in VFO A, my favorite SSB freq
in VFO B and set up AGC and DSP parameters just the way I (usually) like
them. It's a breeze once you get it set up.
